Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 165 A Thousand Swings
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire interview room became restless.

For journalists, this is absolutely explosive news.

First-year student Akira Fōtani ignored many of his seniors and said that he was the number one pitcher.

If this were made into news and released, the click rate would surely exceed 100,000!
Xiao Jōgō is just like other boys of his age, ignorant of the immensity of the world and full of passion.

But now he is in front of the camera, he represents Seidou High School, he has become a public figure, his every word and action will be recorded by the media and even magnified infinitely.

Xiao Jiangu is still too young.

"It's over, it's over. This guy actually said something like that. Isn't it a clear declaration of war against all the pitching seniors in the country?"

Minister Ohta scratched his head in anger.

No emotional intelligence at all.

Otherwise just don’t say anything, because if you do say anything it will be against the will of heaven!
From the moment Fōgō Akira chose the reporter, Minister Ota knew that something was going to happen.

Why choose this female reporter when there are so many other people to choose from?

Although this female reporter has good looks and a perfect figure, and looks like a female elite in the workplace, she will indeed make many male players in their adolescence unable to stop.

But she is famous for making fun of players, and you can often hear some "big news" in her interviews.

Maybe this has something to do with her looks.

Her questions are always sharper than Sawamura's inside corner shots, and anyone who is interviewed by her will suffer a great loss.

After getting a satisfactory answer, the female reporter also sat down.

It looks like she will take the top spot in performance again this month.

Next is the question about interviewing Sawamura.

The general content of the question is how he went from an unknown to a rotation pitcher for Seidou High School.

Sawamura answered this question quite fluently.

He did not brag about how great his talent was or how invincible he was.

Instead, he has been thanking those who have helped him at Qingdao High School.

It was his mentor Rei Takashima who recruited him to Seidou High School, helped him transform from a rookie who didn't even understand the rules into the independent catcher Chris, and it was coach Kataoka who helped him improve his technical skills.

Each and every one of them is within his scope of gratitude.

It's just that Miyuki was criticized by him because of his poor performance with no one on the base and the fact that he was triple-killed by the opponent in the previous game.

After the insult, Zhou Hui even made a face at Yuki.

"I can't believe that someone as carefree as Sawamura can be so thoughtful."

Takashima Reiya was also moved.

My vision was indeed correct.

"Xiao Li, I don't think so."

Feeling offended, Miyuki immediately retorted.

"Don't be so childish."

"Thank you Sawamura-san and Furuya-san for accepting the interview. Now, we would like to invite our last speaker, Zhou Hui-san."

The staff at the scene called out Zhou Hui's name.

When they heard Zhou Hui's name, the reporters in the audience couldn't sit still.

The camera lights became more intense and a row of reporters below the stage raised their hands in unison.

Zhou Hui then pointed to a male reporter with a friendly look.

It seems that he doesn't have any bad ideas and won't make fun of himself.

Zhou Hui was often interviewed when he was in junior high school, and he suffered a lot in the early days.

As the saying goes, every failure is a learning experience.

After so many years, his language processing has become more and more mature, and his colleagues also know which people come to interview just to make a living and which ones come with ulterior motives.

If the two of them stood in front of Zhou Hui at the same time, Zhou Hui would definitely choose the former. The first is to help others.

Zhou Hui's family was not considered rich since he was a child, and they even lived in poverty.

So he has always sympathized with people who are not well-off since he was a child.

He also wanted to help some unknown journalists who were just trying their luck to make a living.

People like this usually don't have any bad intentions, they just want to make a living.

Although I won't get any exposure, there will be no negative news either.

There is no negative news and it can also help others make a living.

Zhou Hui believes this is a win-win situation.

The male reporter pointed out by Zhou Hui was also very excited and even couldn't believe it.

He has always been a member of the staff of a small newspaper.

It is called a newspaper, but in fact there are only two people working there.

Besides him, there is his wife.

He is responsible for going out to interview, and his wife is responsible for writing content at home.

The two had a clear division of labor, but they never made any money.

Living in a small house of ten square meters every day, it is difficult for the couple to turn over in sleep.

There's nothing we can do about it, this is their life.

When the middle-aged man saw Zhou Hui coming up, he raised his hand just to follow the crowd.

He was surrounded by nationally renowned newspapers and magazines, and it would seem unprofessional for him not to raise his hand.

But unexpectedly, Zhou Hui was actually chosen.

The moment the male reporter stood up, he was so nervous that he almost forgot his question.

"Don't be nervous, sir. I can wait for your questions."

Zhou Hui immediately smoothed things over for the male reporter.

Because he had been caught in the rain, Zhou Hui always wanted to hold an umbrella for others.

"Hello Zhou Hui, I'm a local reporter. I really didn't expect you to choose me. I'm a little excited at this moment."

"It's okay, I'm just an ordinary person, take your time."

"Mmm Good."

The male reporter adjusted his mood and stated his problem.

"As we all know, you are now the strongest hitter in this year's Koshien. So I would like to ask you, how did you develop your explosive hitting power and extraordinary strength? This can also be regarded as pointing out a clear way for children who are troubled by this problem."

This male reporter has no ulterior motives and even cares about others.

Like Zhou Hui, they are both good guys.

"First of all, I want to deny your first statement. Although my ability may be considered relatively strong, I am definitely not the strongest hitter in Koshien. The title of the strongest hitter in Koshien should be given to every guy who actively swings the bat in Koshien. This title does not belong to me."

It is true that Zhou Hui has a high emotional intelligence and did not accept this title with peace of mind.

"As for my batting average and strength, they are all acquired through practice every day. First of all, I don't deny talent, but I think hard work is more important than talent. The reason I have this ability is because I practice swinging the bat a thousand times every day."

"One...a thousand times?!"

Hearing this number, the male reporter was stunned for a moment.

A thousand times is indeed not something that ordinary people can accept.

This amount of batting practice is an extreme test for a hitter's spirit.

No wonder Zhou Hui can appear to be one with the stick and have such a great sense of the ball on stage. It has a lot to do with his huge amount of training every day!
